Singer Sinitta was at the height of her fame when she hooked up with a little known actor named Brad Pitt in the late 80’s. The pair dated for two years but shy and retiring Pitt found it difficult to keep up with his party-loving girlfriend and the relationship fell apart.

‘I think I was too wild for him!’ Sinitta is quoted as saying by Maxim magazine. ‘I was really young and at the peak of my career and I didn't want to sit and be romantic and eat dinner at home.’

The former couple have remained friends and Brad even texted even sent her a congratulatory text when she adopted two children last year.

Katie Mowe, UK spokesperson for DatingDirect.com, says: ‘Despite most of our celebrity couples no longer being an item, we imagine that while the romance lasted they had some memorable times.

‘Perhaps deviating from our 'normal type' may not result in a life long romance, but it can sometimes be fun and teach us more about the kind of partner we really want’.
